Hi everyone
I am trying to create a RC Helicopter able to work as a monitoring tool to look for invasive species plants in remote areas of the Galapagos Islands. Ideally the helicopter will be able to fly a least for 30 minutes and be controlled at the distance of 500 to 1000 m, it has to include a GPS to guide the monitoring route and a transmitter camera to transfer the imagines of the vegetation.
I am new in this field and so any suggestion about types of helicopter, brands and any additional technical information will be very useful. We are looking for the most economical but effective material which can be able to helps us to reduce costs.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Jorge

I dont think you could see a heli at 1000m, I have seen cameras on rc planes where the pilot can use goggles to fly out of eye sight range but not sure about flying a rc heli in such a manner.

i think you migh have more luck posting this in the video forum, people there do a lot of camera work for TV and other activites, so you may get pointed in the right direction...

30mins,is a long time, but achievable with a gasser, unsure of electric flight times of that length.

What your looking for is out of the range of hobby RC stuff....you need to look at industrial RC equipment for that kind of equipment
